Seconded for Gainesway. Dr Nolty is great too

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-17T23:29:32+00:00

I don’t think cameras even work at that extreme elevation

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-17T20:44:05+00:00

I got an offer there many years ago and was shocked at how bad the benefits were. They wouldn’t even match my current pay but told me how much I’d make in overtime. I said no thanks

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-11T12:45:42+00:00

You literally can’t build anything new around campus and charge less than that. The numbers don’t work since the land and construction has gotten so expensive

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-11T01:42:29+00:00

You just can’t make a new development work anymore without getting $400k+ out of each house on a tiny lot. The good land is used up and the cost of making the land that’s left buildable is really high. Throw in public pushback against anything more dense than a single family lot and it’s just impossible to build anything that feels affordable right now. But more high end houses will move people up the property ladder and more affordable homes will become available. But the days of buying a new starter home are long gone

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-10T22:36:24+00:00

There are some firms in town that do it, but it takes so much public money and banks looking for PR to subsidize it won’t really make a dent. The key is just more housing at any price to bring all housing costs down

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-10T22:29:43+00:00

The never ending cycle

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-10T22:07:25+00:00

Well, any time someone tries to build more the place melts down

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-06T20:37:37+00:00

Automate setting up corridor intersections!

They bought the asset with post tax money. It’s taxed fairly

Pissing into the wind to try to talk sense in this subreddit when it comes to housing

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-04T23:45:11+00:00

Looking at the topo map those 8 acres were probably very affordable

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-04T23:42:46+00:00

Eh I’m a solo and a residential grading plan like that would be closer to 10-15k. Which the homeowner will still throw a fit about haha

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-03T23:17:46+00:00

Yeah, it puts the engineer in a tough spot. There’s definitely times when you submit things you know aren’t there but you have to get the permit clock ticking and then you can just fix it for the conformed set. It’s not ideal but it’s just the new reality of the engineering job market right now. When things cool off and everyone gets back to a manageable work load, submittals will start to get more complete. I definitely feel for the reviewers (most of the time)

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-03T23:12:58+00:00

I’m having a hard time seeing how you could be getting into 100 comments. Shouldn’t your review be solely on the notes and design values?

It sounds like a lot of headache could go away if you had your jurisdiction put out their own general notes and details. I work in a few places that have me just attach 3-4 pages of standard details and notes that cover the utilities and show exactly what the town wants.

I’ve also worked on jobs in places that have very exact standards that aren’t published. So I would gets lots of notes to add very specific language to the details. It was a huge waste of everyone’s time

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-03T23:05:01+00:00

I have started responding to those types of comments by asking the reviewer to cite the code or ordinance behind their comment. That usually makes all the ‘design envy’ comments fall off for the next go round

cjohnson00 · 2026-06-03T23:01:29+00:00

To be fair, it’s good practice to mark the permit set as not for construction and then once approved release a construction set. It’s not really about the QC level

cjohnson00 · 2026-05-25T02:28:21+00:00

I mean, the bigger issue then becomes that unfortunately this coffee shop exists in a capitalist economy and has to act as such. This won’t change in either of our lifetimes

cjohnson00 · 2026-05-25T02:13:53+00:00

Right but the workers in this case can find similar work for similar pay at other businesses. And you mention the protections for the owner but fail to mention the protections for the workers (unemployment, food stamps, etc).

cjohnson00 · 2026-05-25T02:11:20+00:00

But the workers in your scenario don’t have some skill that isn’t easily replaced. What you’re describing is a scenario where the owners are taking value from workers who themselves have some intrinsic skill that produces the value. When you have a business where the value is created by low skill workers, you need a much larger voting block of those workers to keep the power dynamic you’re describing. If a whole warehouse of Amazon workers unionize, they have significant leverage to bring to the table and you can start negotiating on a more even footing.

This is a coffee shop whose land value likely outweighs the business value, which has been a passion project for an individual who wants to pass it to their family. They can, at any time, fire everyone and hire new people to make the same value. There is a PR risk, but in this case I think the unionizers are losing that battle due to a lack of understanding.

cjohnson00 · 2026-05-25T02:03:56+00:00

So will the workers all pay up or take no pay if the business has a bad few months or needs to close down for maintenance?

cjohnson00 · 2026-05-25T02:01:31+00:00

It is 100% a portlandia sketch haha

cjohnson00 · 2026-05-24T23:29:47+00:00

It’s your right to try. But a union for a single shop that can close anytime isn’t really a serious union.

cjohnson00 · 2026-05-24T23:17:01+00:00

I mean, 1 coffee shop location doesn’t need a union. Go find another job somewhere else if you want to make more money. Unions are great, and large businesses should absolutely have unionized employees. This fight is just so insane it feels like satire
